California Governor Gavin Newsom is under investigation by the Department of Justice, but he’s directing his ire towards the wrong president. We’ll have more on that in a bit. He surely knows he is lying, but Newsom has always been a Democrat who doesn't let truth get in his way. He saw an opportunity to dishonestly blame President Donald Trump for his and his wife’s legal woes and took it with gusto.

Here’s more. (READ)

Today, my wife & I joined Donald Trump’s hit list.

He has directed his Department of Justice to investigate us. 

They have not found a crime - they are simply trying to find one.

He isn't coming after me because of mean tweets, but because I am considering running for President.

He hates that I consistently call him out. He is simply the most corrupt President in American history.

We have nothing to hide. 

Mr. President, come after me.

I am not going anywhere.

The country is watching.

Yes, the ‘country is watching’ you lie. Here’s Newsom’s screed. (WATCH)

It’s funny that Newsom is trying to paint this investigation as Trump’s revenge.

In the past, he’s claimed that Democrats would go after Trump if they regain power. He explains that desire is not driven by revenge but by an obligation of accountability. Sure, Gavin. (WATCH)

Democrats never include themselves in the cesspool of politicians who need to be held to account.

Posters are wondering what Trump needs to answer for. He’s already been investigated for over a decade.

Sounds like a convenient double standard, huh?

Independent journalist Adam Housley says the investigation into the Newsoms didn’t start under Trump but under former President Joe Biden.

Yes, houmanhemmati. Newsom acknowledged today that he and his wife are under federal investigation.

Multiple outlets report these probes (including one into her nonprofits' taxes and the Williamson case) stem from whistleblower complaints to the Eastern District of CA US Attorney's Office. Elements began last year or earlier under the prior administration—not a brand-new Trump directive. Career officials, not political leadership in DC, drove the start per sources. Newsom framed recent subpoenas/contacts as retaliation.

Well, what do you know?

The truth doesn’t matter; Democrats genuinely have revenge on their minds. Commenters know that Trump is target number one; it’s easy to guess who number two will be.

This is why Democrats should never be allowed to retake power. If they do, we’ll see years of life-destroying frivolous investigations and lawsuits against everyone in Trump’s orbit. It will have nothing to do with accountability, and everything to do with bloodthirsty vengeance.
